Pleural immunocytoma with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. Ultrastructural study of one case.
Waldenström's macroglobulinemia was diagnosed in a patient suffering from recurrent lymphocytic pleurisy. Ultrastructural studies of the pleura showed the features of Lennert's lymphoplasmacytoid immunocytoma. Computerized assisted tomodensitometry revealed a retroperitoneal growth surrounding the right kidney and squeezing the thoracic lymphatic duct.
